I took the liberty to have a look inside the new JBL Control 1 has this does differ from the earlier models, it appears to be lighter in weight. So I hope it stays put!

Note the difference between this bass mid driver from a later JBL Control 1

I hate heights! What I mean is I’m not too comfortable with heights even at 2ft 2” off the floor I’m terrified. But just think what it’s going to sound like with a matching JBL Control1 surround array and with the heights the timbre matching of sounds will be awesome…

…I will have to patch up the ceiling due to some plaster braking away no big deal a tub of filler does amazing things these days. Cabling will be eventually tidied up with cable ducting fitted to the ceiling as well along the corners and down to each JBL Control 1 surround speaker.

Well here’s what I’ve been up to in the last 2 hours plus!

I had to remove the existing height surround one by one.

Then fit the mounting bracket to the ceiling with x4 screws that I hope bit into the wood that is behind it.

I must say it took 36 minutes alone to fit just x1 JBL Control to the ceiling, god I hope this holds, the site of it makes my skin crawl.

Anyway fitting it was scary for me as I hate heights, getting the (mould nut) was little orchard to attach due to the angle I was in. A small hole is fitted around the (mould nut) with where a pole can be fitted and thus turning it around to tighten it up is made easy.

Step by step I attached the parts to the JBL Control 1 for height surround installation.

Getting close and now wow, the sight of it make me feel dizzy when looking at the picture. Well I said I was going to install height surrounds via a matching array of JBL Control 1 and now that is a reality it’s possible and there it is.

Well I’ve have had a 30 minute break it’s back to work for the next JBL Control 1, which is going to present a tighter difficulty as you will see from the pictures in the next post in the next hour or so.

At present I’m running the height surround with just x1 JBL Control 1 in position it sounds awesome with Superman Returns chapters 10 though to 12 startlingly realistic truly breathtaking!
